Vanderbilt Commodores
May 27th, 2026
Corbelli elevated.

Corbelli elevated. Volleyball's Russell Corbelli elevated to defensive coordinator and general manager NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Russell Corbelli has been promoted to defensive coordinator and general manager, Vanderbilt volleyball head coach Anders Nelson announced Wednesday. "'Shatter Your Ceiling' is our program motto, and that standard applies to our staff as much as our athletes," Nelson said. "Russell has grown immensely over the past year, and this promotion reflects that. He has excelled as our recruiting coordinator, and stepping into the general manager role will expand his impact on roster construction and management." In his new role, Corbelli will oversee all facets of roster construction and management, including student-athlete compensation and revenue sharing. He will continue to work directly with Nelson and the coaching staff while integrating revenue sharing and NIL more formally into the recruiting process. His on-court responsibilities will remain unchanged. In the reinstated program's first season, Corbelli helped Vanderbilt advance to the quarterfinals of the Allstate SEC Volleyball Tournament. The Commodores averaged 2.9 blocks and 15.2 digs per set during the conference tournament and held Mississippi State to a .010 hitting percentage in a sweep, the team's lowest opponent hitting percentage of the season. Vanderbilt also finished tied for fourth in the SEC in service aces, averaging 1.40 per set. Prior to Vanderbilt, Corbelli spent three seasons at Missouri before serving as a volunteer assistant coach at Stanford, where he helped guide the Cardinal to back-to-back national championships and a 64-5 combined record across the 2018 and 2019 seasons. He also worked with first-team All-Americans Jenna Gray and Morgan Hentz, along with two-time AVCA National Player of the Year Kathryn Plummer. Corbelli also spent time at Texas A&M as a volunteer assistant coach in 2017 after coaching the Texas A&M men's club volleyball team from 2016-17.

Iroquois Steeplechase announces Honorary Chair, Child Ambassador and 2026 Official Artwork.

Iroquois Steeplechase announces Honorary Chair, Child Ambassador and 2026 Official Artwork. Home " News " Iroquois Steeplechase announces Honorary Chair, Child Ambassador and 2026 Official Artwork. Nashville's Iconic Sporting Event Benefiting Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt is Set for Saturday, May 9, at Percy Warner Park NASHVILLE, Tenn. - April 10, 2026 - The Iroquois Steeplechase, sponsored by Bank of America, has named its Honorary Chair, Child Ambassador and Official Artwork for the 85th anniversary race set for Saturday, May 9, 2026,at Percy Warner Park. Nashville's iconic sporting event has partnered with Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt since 1981, raising more than $11.4 million to support pediatric care, research and lifesaving programs for children and families across the region. Margaret "Meg" G. Rush, MD, MMHC, retired President of Monroe Carell, will serve as Honorary Chair. Judge Colvin, a former patient, has been named the 2026 Child Ambassador. The organization also unveiled the official artwork for this year's race, created by Nashville artist Courtney Robers. "The Iroquois Steeplechase has always been about more than horse racing," said Dwight Hall, Race Chairman of the Iroquois Steeplechase. "It's about bringing our community together to support the children and families cared for at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. Margaret 'Meg' G. Rush devoted her career to advancing care for children, and Judge's inspiring recovery reminds us why this partnership matters." Dr. Rush recently retired after more than four decades of service at Vanderbilt Health,including five years as President of Monroe Carell. A respected neonatologist and healthcare leader, she joined Vanderbilt as a pediatric resident in 1984, completed fellowship training in neonatology and later served in several leadership roles, including director of the Neonatal Fellowship Program and chief of staff for the children's hospital. Her work has advanced research, education and clinical care while improving health outcomes for children. Her leadership has been recognized with numerous honors, including the Nashville Business Journal's Women of Influence Award and the Junior League of Nashville's Paragon Award for Outstanding Community Service. Each year, the Iroquois Steeplechase selects a Child Ambassador to represent the strength and resilience of young patients at Monroe Carell. In 2026, that role belongs to Judge Colvin. In 2020, when Judge was just three years old, a 75-foot oak tree fell on him and his father during a storm, leaving both critically injured. Judge was rushed to Monroe Carell in a coma with a traumatic brain injury. His father was treated at Vanderbilt University Heath with multiple injuries, including a broken back. When Judge woke from his coma, doctors determined he would need inpatient pediatric rehabilitation. Because those services were not available in Tennessee at the time, the family temporarily relocated to Atlanta for specialized care. Now nine years old, Judge is thriving. He enjoys swimming, video games and recently appeared in singer-songwriter Noah Kahan's music video for the song "The Great Divide." He and his family are passionate about giving back and have established a nonprofit, the Out of the Woods Foundation, to help more children like Judge. "Judge's recovery has been remarkable, and we want every child to have that same chance," said his mother, Shelly Colvin. "Our Out of the Woods Fund is committed to supporting inpatient rehabilitation so more families can receive the care they need close to home." Judge and his family will attend the race and participate in opening ceremonies, representing the children and families whose lives are touched by Monroe Carell. In addition, the Iroquois Steeplechase announced that the Official Artwork for the race was created by Courtney Robers. Attendees can purchase a T-shirt or poster featuring the commemorative artwork on race day. Born and raised in Nashville, Robers grew up riding horses and spent much of her childhood dedicated to the sport. She also developed a love for art at a young age and has been painting ever since. She earned her bachelor's degree in fine art from Belmont University, where she majored in oil painting. She now lives and works in Nashville as a full-time mother and painter with her husband, three daughters and dog. Robers is inspired by Tennessee's rich history, often painting intimate scenes rooted in local landscapes. Working in oil and acrylic from her home studio, she remains closely connected to the equestrian world. Limited tickets remain available for the 2026 Iroquois Steeplechase, including access to the Magnolia Garden, a newly reimagined, all-inclusive hospitality experience featuring a hillside setting, gourmet catering, full beverage service, guaranteed seating and trackside views. Additional ticket options include theRoyal 615 Lounge, considered Nashville's "hottest party" at the races, and select tailgating experiences.

Often referred to as Nashville's "Rite of Spring," the Iroquois Steeplechase is one of the South's longest-running traditions, drawing thousands each year for a day of racing, fashion, tailgating and live entertainment set against the rolling hills of Percy Warner Park.

Vanderbilt Medical cuts 650 jobs, then spends millions sponsoring Tennessee Titans

Vanderbilt University Medical Center has faced criticism after announcing a multi-year partnership to become the official healthcare provider for the Tennessee Titans and Nissan Stadium, following the layoff of approximately 650 employees in the past year for budget reduction. VUMC now sponsors every major league sports team in Nashville, including the Titans, Nashville SC, Nashville Predators and Nashville Sounds. Critics argue these marketing partnerships contradict the organisation's claimed financial constraints. The medical centre has a history of financial irregularities. In 2022, the US Department of Health and Human Services found VUMC received hundreds of thousands of dollars in improper outpatient billing overpayments. In 2023, VUMC paid $6.5 million to settle allegations of overbilling Medicare and Medicaid, whilst committing to an external billing audit.
